Caveat. The OP's original account brings up two possible
reasons why the candidate may be unsuitable:

"The interviewing team were exchanging
gratified smiles till we took the candidate for lunch."

Whose bright idea was it to insert personal politics into an
*interview lunch* in the first place and by so doing launch
the unpleasant incident? If it was the candidate, that would
be bad.

"Like it was a given that no one could ever disagree with
those opinions."

Putting aside the undesirable situation of a working group
that is engaging in political discussions in a professional
setting, someone who seems to have difficulty participating
in a civil discourse in one subject may have the same issue
in more proper working areas.

I would never penalize a candidate or employee for his/her
political views. However, the time, place and manner in
which a candidate or employee chooses to express those
views is another matter.
